Well, I've been off at the my niece's wedding weekend -- a most
extravagant affair in all regards, including food.  I ate too much all
three days.  I pretty much decided I was going to have what I wanted
to at these events, but I still feel that I could have exercised more
restraint.  I am particularly susceptible to appetizers, I'm afraid

next morning brunch -- weren't enough, when we checked into our hotel
we were given a "goodie bag" that contained big chocolate chip
cookies, mixed nuts, trail mix, and pretzels.  Ah well ... it was fun,
and I will be abstemious now for a while.

Saturday:  In the morning, a little shopping with my mom in a
wheelchair.  In the evening at the wedding, some good fast dancing (as
much as I could talk DH into, plus a few dances with other guys).

Sunday:  After the party, on the way home, stopped by the gym and did
my cardio program week 4, long day: 35 minutes run on treadmill in
repeated pattern (4 minutes at 4.6, 1 minute at 4.7).  {Not trying to
make up for all the food -- just doing it today so I don't have to
tomorrow after work, as I have a long work day.}
